{"product_id":"merida-matts-junior-champion-2027","title":"Matts J.Champion 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bike to grow into rather than out of. The J.Champion comes on 26 inch wheels, but the frame and fork will take 27.5in, so when your child stretches out you can move the wheel size up instead of replacing the bike. The TFS 6061 aluminium frame is double butted and technoformed with a tapered head tube, internal cable routing and an inboard chainstay disc mount, and the fork is an X-Fusion RC32 with 120mm of travel and a lockout. That is a genuine mountain bike fork rather than a token one, which matters as soon as the terrain gets rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a dropper post fitted too, a 100mm Merida Comp JR, and on steep ground it does more for a young rider's confidence than any other single part. Gearing is a Shimano CUES 1x9 with a 30 tooth chainring and an 11-46 cassette, so the bottom gear is low enough to spin up a climb rather than stand and grind. Tektro HD-J3120 hydraulic discs with short reach levers handle the braking, Kenda Booster 26 x 2.2 foldable tyres keep rotating weight down, and the 640mm bar and 140mm cranks are proportioned for a rider of roughly 137-150cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTFS 6061 aluminium frame, double butted and technoformed, tapered head tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-Fusion RC32 air fork with 120mm travel and lockout, 46mm offset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida Comp JR dropper post with 100mm travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits riders of approximately 137-150cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano CUES 1x9 drivetrain, 30 tooth chainring with 11-46 cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTektro HD-J3120 hydraulic disc brakes with short reach levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKenda Booster 26 x 2.2 foldable tyres on 20mm internal width aluminium rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano QC300 Centerlock hubs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerida CC 640mm bar with 15mm rise, 140mm cranks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork and frame will accept 27.5in wheels as the rider grows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications::Matts J.Champion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscipline: Kids\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Aluminium\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFront Travel: 120mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWheel Size: 26in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame - \u003c\/strong\u003eTFS - 6061 series aluminium tubing, double butted and technoformed.
